A northern summer dust storm on Mars boosted high-altitude water escape, suggesting short-lived events may play a bigger role ...

Mars has always been a curious planet, often overshadowed by its larger neighbors, but recent research suggests that the Red Planet plays an unexpected role in shaping Earth’s climate. According to a ...

Small but mighty, the red planet — our celestial neighbor — has made Earth’s climate what it is today. Mars’ gravitational pull serves as a stabilizing force for our home’s orbit, tilt and position ...

Mars may have been much warmer and wetter billions of years ago than previously thought, according to new findings from ...

And now for the weather on Mars: NASA's newest lander is offering daily reports on the red planet's frigid winter. Starting Tuesday, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is posting the highs and lows ...

A recent study showed that Mars was warm and wet billions of years ago. The finding contrasts with another theory that this era was mainly cold and icy. The result has implications for the idea that ...

How did Mars maintain surface liquid water billions of years ago? This is what a recent study published in AGU Advances hopes to address as a team of researchers from the United States and Canada ...

Stephen Kane, a professor of planetary astrophysics at UC Riverside, was skeptical when he read recent studies that showed the gravitational pull from Mars being connected to Earth’s long-term climate ...

Communications with Mars explorers face unique challenges, including 4–24 minute signal delays and limited bandwidth that restricts data transmission. While NASA's Deep Space Network currently manages ...
